After Effects 2022 V22.0.1 composition won't export via Media Encoder

[Stephajn5E7F]

After Effects 2022 v22.0.1 DOES NOT EXPORT TO MEDIA ENCODER on Windows. This problem was reported for Mac, but it was directly stated that others have the same problem on Windows. Exact same symptoms, exact same behaviour. You try to export a video from After Effects using the Media Encoder Queue, and nothing happens. Media Encoder opens and just sits there doing absolutely nothing.

Still not working on Windows. I rolled back to the previous versions of AE and AME and it worked for one export, and then the dynamic link got stuck on connecting forever. Can only use the AE render queue, export as MOV and then export the MOVs as MP4s through AME.

Still not working. Windows 10.

When I choose to add comp to AME queue, AME will open on its own but that's it; no other activity.

Only solution is to render from AE render queue as MOV and then export again through AME as MP4.

Same Issue here. AE > ME not working

[kathix2531899]

Please fix asap! Loosing so much time with all those errors that recently occur all the time in AE 😞

[Tlemoine]

This is happening only to my AE files that were created before the last update (PC running windows 10). The dynamic linking is not opening the project file. I then have to go into task manager to end the AME process since it is hung up.

But new files created in AE after the update export to AME and work fine. What a pain. Once this is fixed I will stop updating until I absolutely have to.

I have a large project I need to export for a client in the next couple of days! I've even tried adding the file directly to Media Encoder but it just sits searching (I felt it over night and was still searching in the am!)

[the_dudes]

Not experiencing this on my end. Still feel bad for this. Happened in the past.

Don't forget the golden rule in professional production:
Never aboard the first iteration of a major release if your work critically depends on it!

[the_dudes]

For people where the command opens AME, but nothing is added: If you hit "Add to AME" again, with open Media Encoder, does it work?

[SevgiliSamet]

The problem persists and we still have not encountered a solution proposal. We request information or update support from the authorities.

@ThE dudes, no it stays stuck in "Connecting to dynamic link" it's not an issue with after effects or AME, it's an issue with Dynamic Link because, AE and Premiere projects connected dynamically don't work either.

[jordanc75789874]

Broken for me also. Windows 10, TR3960, 2080ti

[zangtumtum]

Render to media encoder is broken. It has been broken since forever. How about you just give us h264 back and disable Render to AME until the feature works. Shipping a broken feature just angers users and wastes our time and energy.

Same issue, even after disk format and clean install of Windows 11.

Same issue here (Windows 10)
2021 AE/ME work fine, but 2022 both export to media encoder and trying to open from ME queue just sit with no activity

[mariogagabriel]

My ME doesn't even render part of the After Effects V22.0.1 composition, it just throws me error and shows this message.

[brian53207]

I reported having this issue last week (Nov 30, 2021).

However, I just attempted to render from AE 2022 to AME 2022, Windows 10, and it seems to be working now (Dec 6, 2021).

I understand that it might just be a fluke so I'm wondering if anyone else can confirm?

[UZe.]

Anything solution?

[Tatum Le Patourel]

The only way I've managed to save an mp4 is by using the built in exporter in After Effects so it saves as an .avi then opening this file into Media Encoder to then export out as an mp4

[Josef Müller]

Same Problem! We are a business, your software is wasting our time and money

[jordanc75789874]

It doesn't seem like adobe is listening...

I would say, roll back to previous versions, but there have been issues with every single install I've had for years now. Memory leaks, unable to import HDRIs, unable to export to media encoder etc

After effects is easily the buggiest software I use, and I have to use 3DS Max.
I don't think we have had a single stable release since adobe started subscriptions.

I really really want to completely remove adobe from my workflow, it's WAY too unstable.

[produktion 2i1051507]

We have the same problem, Windows 10 pro 21H1, AE 22.01, AME 22.0

[Tiago22173238cthr]

Same problem here, still not working...

[ck_jedi]

Almost a month in and still nothing from devs? At least acknowledge the issue.

[EALS]

I can't send any project to AME! I need render everything on AE! A lot o time wasted! It even freezes sometimes!

I'm hesitant to invest in third party tools but I've looked at this https://rainboxlab.org/tools/dume/
